About The Book: This book consists of two volumes, the first volume delves into the history of the Deccan region in southern India, tracing changes in its boundaries due to the possessions of adjacent rulers. It explores the traditional origins of the Deccan and its establishment as a capital in Dowlutabad, along with instances of rebellions and the eventual sovereignty of the Deccan. In the second volume, the narrative continues from the decline of the Golconda and Beejapore monarchies, which were gradually absorbed by the Mogul or Dhely (Delhi) emperors up to Shaw Jehaun's reign (Shan Jahan). The focus then shifts to Aurungzebe, Shaw Jehaun's son, who played a pivotal role in dissolving these monarchies and expanding Mogul dominions in the Deccan. This disrupted the regional balance of power and set the stage for the rise of new states, ultimately challenging the Timurid dynasty's rule in Hindoostan. About The Author: Jonathan Scott (1754–1829) was an accomplished English orientalist known for his translation of the Arabian Nights. He journeyed to India at a young age, serving in the military and earning the patronage of Warren Hastings, the governor-general of Bengal. Scott played a crucial role in establishing the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784. After returning to England in 1785, he became a professor of oriental languages at the Royal Military College. He received a D.C.L. degree from the University of Oxford for his expertise in oriental literature. Scott's most renowned work is his six-volume edition of the "Arabian Nights Entertainments," which enhanced Antoine Galland's French version with additional tales, making it a significant early contribution to English literature.
